What I did with my daughter was take a Q-Tip and put a little baseline on it. While I had her in the bath, I inserted it just a little into her bottom and lifted get legs so the water could help, alot like a baby suppository but cheaper. That night she had a full diaper while I was feeding her. She was the same age as your baby.

I know there might be an age difference but my step son is 5 and he has that all the time. Go to walgreen or your local pharmacy and ask what you can give to the baby.

My niece and son had this problem. Dr told us to add a tablespoon of Karo syrup to the bottle whenever they need it. Just make sure you don't do it all the time or their bowels will come to depend on it
